Heart and Hand

Heart & Hand's COVID Response: In alignment with public health requirements, Heart & Hand continues to modify our offerings for young people and families. Though Denver Public Schools will not be reopening for summer, Heart & Hand will be offering six weeks of hybrid programming for youth encompassing both virtual lessons and socially distant outdoor programming. We will also continue to support our young people and families through food distribution and community resource referrals. Families are invited to visit our Staying Connected page to find a comprehensive resource guide, links to virtual lessons with Heart & Hand staff, and information about food pickups.

Black Lives Matter: Moving from Ally to Accomplice

"For the past 10 years, Heart & Hand has worked alongside communities of color, nurturing the growth of children and accompanying families. At this critical moment in our country’s evolution, we must move from ally to accomplice to support and empower our students and their families on the path toward racial justice. We know that our conversations and learning must continue, and that our actions will be louder than anything we have to say.

We have outlined our next steps, making commitments in the following areas:

Continuing to increase the diversity of our Board of Directors and Community Professionals Board in alignment with our strategic plan goals
Designing new programming for young people and families to address the trauma our community is currently experiencing
Codifying more intentional practices to elevate the voices of our young people and families
Forming a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee and an Advocacy Committee to ensure that our momentum in this area continues..."
